As a Senior Care Assistant at HC One, kindness will be at the core of everything you do. It touches upon every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential, and Specialist care homes. Every person working here understands that our residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. By joining us, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.
For you, that will mean planning and implementing care that provides our residents with a sense of security, dignity, and independence. You will get to know our residents and their families, helping us deliver truly personalised care plans. Leading a team of Care Assistants, you will be responsible for maintaining high standards of care and influencing the team positively. Whether showing someone how to use a walking frame, helping at the end of life, or talking to a resident’s family, you’ll do so with kindness. Assisting the Registered Nurse and Care Manager, you will provide physical and mental stimulation through social and recreational activities, as well as administering medication.
One of your key responsibilities as a Senior Care Assistant is to maintain accurate records and build strong relationships within your team.
Ideally, you’ll have completed a Level 2 Diploma in Adult Care or equivalent and be willing to work towards Level 3. Experience in person-centred care planning and caring for people with dementia is desirable. What’s essential is your positive energy and ability to get along with people. You should know good record-keeping practices and manage your time effectively. When communicating with residents or colleagues, be considerate and kind.
